Hornchurch tube station is a London Underground station on the District Line, located in Hornchurch and a short walk south from the town centre. The station is in Zone 6, located between Elm Park and Upminster Bridge stations.
History[]
The station was opened by the London, Tilbury and Southend Railway in 1885 and was expanded and modernised in 1935. The station has four platforms. Two are used by the District Line and another two are disused after service from LT&SR was withdrawn in 1962 when the line through the station was electrified. The current station buildings were opened in 1932 when the electrified District Line was extended to Upminster. The platforms are located beneath street level and the station buildings are of typical 1930s design with very little trace of the Victorian origins of the station remaining. After nationalisation of the railways in 1948 management of the station passed to British Railways and in 1969 ownership transferred to the London Underground.[3]
Off Peak Service[]
Typical off-peak service from the station is:
- 12 tph (trains per hour) to Upminster
- 6 tph to Wimbledon via Tower Hill
- 6 tph to Richmond via Tower Hill
The station has a crossover, to the West of the platforms, enabling trains to terminate there and return to service in the opposite direction.
